I take it you are using windows 95/98. Well go to my computer then go to c:\windows\favorites and delete the ones you do not want in there.

This behavior occurs because the Links folder is a special Internet Explorer folder that cannot be moved, deleted, or renamed.

Although the Links folder cannot be deleted, the properties of the Links folder can be set to Hidden so that the folder is no longer displayed when you open the Favorites.

To set the properties of the Links folder to Hidden:



Click Favorites on the toolbar.


Right-click the Links folder, and then click Properties.


Click to select the Hidden check box.


Click OK.


You can press F5 to refresh the file listing and the Links folder will no longer be displayed, although it will still be in the system and function normally.

Another site says:

"At this time, it is not possible to remove this folder. If you delete it, it is automatically recreated when you restart Windows. In fact, it is probably not a good idea to even try removing it - you may end up with shortcut errors whenever you launch IE if you try."

It worked on mine tho Its still hidden. If I cant see it then thats good enough for me
